# blossom database_instance:dedication:retry

Resume the same Shared to Dedicated migration

## Usage

    blossom database_instance:dedication:retry --id ID [--yes] [--follow] [--timestamps]

## Flags

| Flag | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `--id (required)` | Database instance id |
| `--yes, -y` | Confirm the migration operation |
| `--follow, -f` | Follow the migration Activity |
| `--timestamps` | Show log timestamps. Default: true. |

Resume a failed Shared to Dedicated migration using its existing copy and
capacity. Review the failed Activity first.

    blossom database_instance:dedication:retry --id database_instance-123 --yes --follow

After cutover starts, this continues toward Dedicated. It never reopens the
old writer or silently copies old data over the new primary.
